The Story


As I fill my time with new faces
I can’t hide the traces
Of essence that keeps me bound
To the memories of your lips and skin

I’ve tried all I can to deny
The fact that I cannot lie
About the way that I feel
Without you in my life

There’s emptiness inside
And a permanent hole that resides
Where I saved you a place
To always come back to me

I’m afraid these days
That your body stays
Near the warmth of another
And I as well under a spell

But I know that through
All the eyes of others
They see that I still love another
And I continue to wonder

All that would have transpired
Between our hearts so tired
Had we defeated the distance
That holds us apart

All the love that I have to give
Is lost in the shadows and remains
Of the shell of man
I’ve become since losing you

I’ll continue to feel
And steal
Moments to myself
Where I can remember you

I still have dreams and nightmares
Of the way that you hold me and stare
Deep into my eyes
And then kiss me everywhere


It’s that second before I fall asleep
When I fear that the reaper
Shall pull me in for good
Sometimes I wish he would

But I know there’s purpose in my existence
And there’s always resistance
As futile and discerning
As living and learning

I wanted nothing more than us to last
Seems as though our time traveled so fast
The accident caused whiplash
And I’m left with a totaled soul

The damage is done but I will recover
And hopefully discover
The reasons behind
Losing the love of a lifetime

In the meantime
I’ll do my best to streamline
My thoughts and focus
To get through all that has broken us

I’ll see you someday
On the other side they say
Until then I’ll always remember
That cold day in December

When you began to dismember
Our love and all that we had
Even though you were sad
It hurts just the same

And I never stop hearing the echo of your beautiful name.
